An elbow not working when applied by a guy with minimal training in a very high stress environment doesn’t prove they don’t work. There are lots of similar incidents where firearms proved ineffective at stopping an attacker, but it wouldn’t be right to say guns don’t work. I’m also not sure how you could elbow somebody hard enough to break your own elbow. Somebody must be training these guys to throw elbows incorrectly if there are \”alots of guys today are walking around with pinched nerves and damaged elbows, some can’t even move their hand because of the destruction wrought by the elbow strike, worse some are dead all because of an elbow strike.\” If they are dying, its not exactly because of elbow strikes- its because they are unarmed for some reason and facing odds where they really should have a weapon.
